Just to clarify, bipolar does NOT mean that you have two personalities (that's Multiple Personality Disorder, also known as Dissociative Identity Disorder).
To be bipolar simply means that you fluctuate between two emotional extremes. That can be happy and sad, as you've described. For others, it can be between depressed and irritable. There are a lot of possibilities.
Some manifest their "manic" or "up" stage with hyperactivity, hypersexuality, or by practically drunken happiness. Others manifest it by going on shopping binges (really!). What I'm trying to tell you is that bipolar is complicated, and comes in many different forms, and only a psychiatrist can diagnose you accurately.
The good news is that it IS treatable, usually with a combination of medication and talk therapy. I won't lie to you; it can take a long time and a lot of tries to get the combination of meds right for a patient. But as long as you keep at it and don't give up, the odds are excellent that you can get on an even keel and lead a stable, happy life.
That is, if you ARE bipolar. If you're a teen, you may just be going through normal hormonal swings. But if your feelings are bothering you enough to ask about them here, they're serious enough for you to speak to your doctor. She or he should be able to refer you to a specialist, probably a psychiatrist, for a full evaluation.
Good luck!

One of my friends acually has that. He went to the doctor for it and he got pills. It just means you're happy and then you get mad for no reason and you always have mood changes. The doctor will give you something and its nothing bad. Its normal with a lot of people.

Go to the doctor and tell him about all these feelings that change he would help you go as soon as you can to solve it because there is something wrong with your mind this could be bad but don't worry I'm sure there's a solution to this problem there must be a logical explanation.

Bipolar means a split personality, you have like 2 different people inside you. Like that guy 2-face, I think he was in Batman movies. Anyway, what you described is sort of tripolar. There's nothing wrong with having a split personality. Everyone has their quirks. They just show a lot more on certain people... like me, we still don't know what's wrong with me yet.

Well, going by what you've told us, you do seem to have symptoms of bipolar disorder. You can refer to this site for some more information: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
But no one on here can diagnose you with bipolar disorder. Sure, it sounds like you may have it but only a licenced doctor can diagnose you.
My advice to you is to talk to your parents about it and see if you could possibly go in for counseling and to see a doctor.
The good thing is, you're addressing that there is something wrong. Now you need to take it to the next step and try to go see a doctor.
I wish you luck.
